PENTAX K110D FIRMWARE UPDATE VERSION 1.02

You will need a blank, formatted memory card with a
capacity of 8MB or higher.

You will need your camera's USB cable, or a memory card
reader.

Make sure your batteries are fresh, or that you are using
an optional AC adapter to prevent power interruptions during
the update process.

Make sure your camera currently has firmware version 1.00
or 1.01. You can check your current firmware version by turning
the camera on while holding down the MENU button.

FIRMWARE UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS - WINDOWS

Click the Windows link below to download the
self-extracting firmware archive file (kc1e102w.EXE). Click
SAVE to save the download file to your computer's hard drive.
Saving it to your desktop, for example, will make it easy to
find after the download is complete. Please note: this download
file is not the firmware update file itself, but a compressed
archive that must be expanded in the following step.

Next, double click the download file to expand it. Once
expanded, you will see a readme text file (README.TXT) and the
firmware update file itself (FWDC165B.BIN). The readme file
contains instructions similar to what you are reading on this
page.

You must now copy the firmware update file (FWDC165B.BIN)
to your camera's memory card. When you connect the camera
directly to your computer (or if you use a card reader), the
memory card appears as a removable disk drive in the My
Computer window. Make sure you are using a blank/formatted
memory card, then drag & drop (or copy & paste) the
firmware update file (FWDC165B.BIN) from the desktop to your
removable disk window, which is the camera's memory card.
Please note: You must put the firmware update file
(FWDC165B.BIN) directly onto the removable disk; it cannot be
in any sub-folders. It must be on the top (or root) level of
the removable disk.

Now that you have copied the firmware update file
(FWDC165B.BIN) to your camera's memory card, you are ready to
install it. Make sure your camera is turned off and
disconnected from the computer. Make sure that the memory card
containing the firmware update file is inserted into your
camera. Also, make sure you that you have adequate power in
your camera. We recommend you use a Pentax AC adapter to
perform the firmware update, but if you do not have a Pentax AC
adapter, make certain that your batteries have a full
charge.

To begin the update, turn your camera on while holding down
the MENU button. If you have followed the above instructions
precisely, the camera will begin to load the new firmware. You
will see the message NOW LOADING then the camera will display
the firmware update menu.

The camera will now update its firmware. This may take a
couple of minutes, so be careful to not interrupt the
process.

When the update is complete, you will see COMPLETE on your
camera's LCD screen. Turn the camera off and remove the memory
card.

With the memory card removed from the camera, check your
new firmware version by turning the camera back on while
holding down the MENU button. Before you begin to take pictures
again, be sure to format your memory card to erase the firmware
update file.
